Equipment List
- Shuttle XG41, Intel i5 cpu ,8GB ram, Intel 320 SSD 60gb, Pioneer VSX-520 Amplifier (Running OpenELEC with Aeon Nox Theme)
- Vibe Floor standing speakers

- Vibe Sub Woofer
- Vibe wall inset back speakers
- Acer H5370BD projector
- Ps3 Slim
- Dreambox 800SE Satellite box
- Ebay HDMI mirror splitter
- Qnap 419p 8TB RAID 5
- Qnap 419p 8TB RAID 5
- Ipad Mini
- Samsung 46" LCD tv
- MCE remote
- Logitech Harmony one remote
Description
Just a relatively simple living room setup of XBMC on a tv, with a mirror image on the projector when required. Controlled with an MCE remote and ipad mini when listening to just music. The HTPC is a little overpowered but silent. I find the onboard intel graphics 3000 chip works very well for all kinds of content. All media is stored on the NAS devices which wake on lan when needed. The system boots fast and is reliable using openelec. I tried windows but had problems with stability and screen resultions, everything just worked out of the box with openELEC. Oh and we have a nice home bar for a drink (or 3!!) during the movies!!
Any questions feel free to post below
